Description:

This opportunity supports team grants on two themes:

Develop a better understanding of the biology of and mechanisms associated with cancer cell dormancy

• Investigates different models of dormancy such as angiogenic, immune-mediated, and cellular dormancy
• Delineates the mechanisms behind why certain types/subtypes of cancer are more prone to dormancy (and hence, metastases)
• Explores the individual factors (genetic, molecular, etc.) that lead some to develop metastatic disease while others do not
• Develops (and utilizes) new, physiologically relevant model systems that accurately represent dormancy in human cancers
• Could result in interventions that can prevent the onset of metastatic disease

Support people living with advanced or metastatic disease throughout the course of their disease

• Examines interdisciplinary prevention/management of symptoms and chronic conditions (including non-pharmacological management)
• Seeks to provide improved psychosocial support
• Seeks to develop integrated and appropriate palliative care
• Improves support for caregivers
• Considers longitudinal studies to provide a clearer picture of the unique needs of people living with long-term metastatic disease (particularly as they relate to patient-reported outcomes), or that could identify factors associated with longer-term survival of people diagnosed with metastatic disease
• Seeks to better coordinate and deliver complex care
• Considers equitable access to anticipated project outcomes from the outset
